Jim Daly is the third comedian in a row on this podcast. Jim is currently on tour and is appearing on home turf this coming Saturday at Chesham cricket club and I have been reliably informed there are a few tickets left.

Indeed he follows in the footsteps of his fellow Exploding Head Mark Davison who featured last week. As well as being at the end of the line for ‘Colin from Portsmouth’ Anthony is also the face of Paddy Power ads including being the barber who is still patiently waiting for the Man United fan to have his hair cut…Anthony’s first memories of a match was at a ground that no longer exists, it’s Elm Park back in September 1995, in front of nearly 8,000 hardy souls…
